For the European qualifiers, I believe that the biggest disappointment has been Italy. I didn't expect Turkey to eliminate Portugal already. Actually they still did a good job and found even a big chance to equalize the score. But they failed and Portugal advanced to the last round. But nearly all people expected Italy to eliminate North Macedonia easily. And they had a solid performance to do so too. But here we are and they are out of the World Cup after losing by 1-0. It must be like a dream for their opponent to get past them.

Among the remaining teams in the Europa League now, Barcelona seem to be the biggest favourite for the title of this tournament. But it depends on how much they will want to achieve this title too. Normally, this tournament is way below the quality of a team like Barcelona. But there is another fact now that Barcelona won't be achieving any other title most probably if they fail here. Because it seems really hard for them to win the La Liga title. I believe they will make a big effort here and win the title.

The only thing Kylian Mbappe lacks now is really the Champions League title. And as he is not able to achieve this title at PSG, he needs to go to a team that he can really make it. A team that are very experienced in this tournament. And that team are Real Madrid of course. Real Madrid have been one of the greatest teams of the Champions League history so far. And after Mbappe joins Real Madrid, I believe that he will have this title at least once. And maybe this can happen even in next season which would be a great beginning for Mbappe too.

Winning the Champions League can make Kylian Mbappe continues the throne of Ronaldo or Lionel Messi as the world's best player. He also has to do it with a club with winning mentality, PSG is only strong in Ligue 1, but not in the Champions League. Maybe that dream will come true if Mbappe moves to Real Madrid. Mbappe must carve out his best at a club level to win the Ballon d'Or, because before that Mbappe has also won the World Cup with the French national team.

As Ronaldo and Messi are not performing like in the old times anymore, players like Mbappe will have a big chance to show their quality to the whole world. He has already been a great player though. His statistics at PSG so far has been amazing. He has carried the team so far and that's not even open to discussion. From now on, he will need to make his biggest move which is to go to Real Madrid. Real Madrid are a dream team for not only him but also for many world-star candidates. And as I said, I believe that he can achieve his biggest successes there.

Napoli haven't been winning the Serie A title for more than thirty years. Milan haven't been the champions for more than ten years too. And these teams are at the top now. It is so good to see the probability of witnessing a completely different champion team this season. I'm really bored of seeing a Juventus dominance in the league. This finally changed thanks to Inter last season. But from now on, we should be able to see this continuing. And rather than Inter, I'm eager to see Milan or Napoli making it to the title this time.

I'm curious about another thing too. And that is whether Arsenal will be able to even take the third position from Chelsea. But it is going to be really hard that's for sure. Because they both have the same amount of absent matches now. And Chelsea are keeping their place by a 5-point difference. As Chelsea have been on a solid run lately, it is going to be very difficult for Arsenal to even get very near them. However, they are going to play a match against each other in late April in Stamford Bridge. It is going to be really critical for both of them if they still have a similar point difference between them.

Before their match, they both have 3 EPL matches before their meet and it could be that they will be exhausted before then and likely that some players will surely be in Injury but even at that Chelsea performance as of recent speaks of them and I have confidence that Arsenal will he dealt with that day with 2-0.
Tottenham and Manchester united has the tendency of taking the 4^th spot than for Arsenal to replace Chelsea in the 3rd spot.

Yeah, the competition for the fourth place is fired up more recently. Arsenal and Tottenham can be seen as the closest teams to finish at this position for now. But it will be depending on whether Manchester United improve their game or not. They still don't seem to be a team to rely on surely. But it is in their hands to change this bad impression about them. The starting eleven is already quite enough to do so. It is all about the game strategy. And we will see Rangnick in the remaining matches.

In the first two free practices, two drivers at the top were the same. Leclerc led both of them and Verstappen was right behind him by a small gap. It looks like it is going to be a lot of fun to watch these two youngsters competing with each other in the whole season.

And I have heard that Leclerc found himself in the wall too thus I hope he won't have any problem on joining the qualifying session. This track is really tricky and hard. You can hit the wall so easily even if you lose your focus for a moment.

Portekiz'e biraz şanssız bir şekilde elendiğimize inanıyorum. Çünkü skor 2-1'e geldikten sonra çok önemli bir penaltı kazandık ama yararlanamadık. Bu da bizim sonumuzu getirdi. Eğer turu geçseydik karşımıza sürpriz bir şekilde Kuzey Makedonya gelecekti. İtalya'nın o kadar dominant oynayıp elenmesi cidden büyük sürprizdi.

Sevilla are in a really bad condition now actually. They got four draws in their last five matches. And they are likely to end the season even at the fourth or fifth position if they go on like this. Barcelona are already very close to get past them and it will surely happen. And Atletico Madrid have been playing really well for some weeks too. They have the same points with Barcelona. It wouldn't be a big deal for them to get past Sevilla too. But maybe Betis wouldn't be able to do so as the point difference is 7 now.

If Lionel Messi returns to Barcelona for real, it would be really interesting. Because his old teammate Xavi is managing the team now and it would be interesting to play under his management for Messi. And Xavi is building a solid team again after having a problematic period. Messi is of course always welcomed by Barcelona. However, I'm not sure whether Barcelona have enough money to re-sign him. As we all know, they are not financially stable now. If Messi doesn't go back there, I'd love to watch him at Manchester City. Grin

I think Barcelona should have the courage to move on still without Messi. Ever since Messi came to the fold, ever since the post Pep Guardiola era Barcelona have been dependent on Messi in a way that is unhealthy. Each player has the ball he would have to look for Messi because they know what he can do with the ball. Messi presence will hinder the fluidity of the team.

Of course, you have got a good point there. Eventually, Barcelona will have to go on without Messi as he is going to retire. They have started doing very well without him now already. And they can go on like this very well. And I agree on the thing you said about him too. If he goes back to Barcelona, the team will have to focus on Messi again. And this would cause Xavi's plans not to work anymore. But maybe they would like to have him to retire there as he played for them for so many years in the end. Messi would be okay to that surely.

Barcelona players are getting more and more confident every week. Especially the incredible win in the El Clasico must be very helpful for them to focus on their coming matches completely to win each one of them. I just love the way how they started to perform this great and have maintained it for a long time. I think that they will keep this performance until the end of the season and finish the season at the second spot also. And they will give a big signal for next season of the league by doing this.

Milan are really serious about winning the championship in the Serie A this season. And they can really close in on the championship more after the matches next week indeed. Napoli and Inter are very likely to lose points to me. But I wonder how they both are going to perform. I think that Atalanta and Napoli both will score and it will end up with a 1-1 draw. And in the Juventus - Inter match, I'm having a similar expectation right now. Juventus are no different than Inter recently. They wouldn't give up on this match easily.

It looks like the weakest team in the semi-finals are Crystal Palace right now. And they have a really difficult opponent to play against like Chelsea. I think that Chelsea are going to care about the FA Cup a lot to have at least one title at the end of the season. And Crystal Palace are not a big hindrance to get past for Chelsea. There is a huge quality difference between them. Maybe Crystal Palace are going to play differently compared to the Premier League. But I still don't think that they will be a huge threat.

Denver Nuggets got an unfortunate loss against Boston Celtics in their home game. Celtics were the side being favoured though but I still didn't expect Nuggets to give up early. But they really did. Nuggets' performance in the second quarter was very poor and the quarter score was 16-35 for them. This could be the main reason for this loss by 104-124. Jokic had an impressive effort as always but there is still no other player to accompany him to reach victories. And for Celtics, J. Brown and J. Tatum were really great by scoring 30 points both.

Dortmund lost very important two points against Koln unfortunately. I was really hoping them to win this match and stay four points behind Bayern Munich in the standings as well. But there was a 1-1 draw at the end. And Erling Haaland hasn't scored for three weeks too. He needs to be productive like in the times before he got injured. Dortmund are having better results when he plays very well too. This was already a tough match of course but Dortmund were still a much better team. And in this critical title fight, they should have won.

It was a huge surprise for me to see Barcelona crushing Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabeu completely. This 4-0 loss is totally embarrassing for Real Madrid. They weren't in a bad condition before this match either but here we are. Barcelona really started to be themselves from now on and they are going to be the biggest threat to Real Madrid as of next season too. Real Madrid should be considering themselves lucky as Barcelona are twelve points behind and have not a chance to win the league title logically.

Things have been going awesome for Milan recently. They defeated Cagliari yesterday 1-0 and they had a nice effort in it too. Maybe Napoli won against Udinese but Inter's losing points against Fiorentina is definitely beneficial for Milan and Napoli both. Because Inter still have a missing match to play in the future. And it is the best for Milan and Napoli both to have as much gap as possible with Inter. Something is odd about Inter nowadays and I'm curious about if they will fix those problems.
